apple cake

We had a lovely time today with all of you that made it out for our Flea Market! Thanks to all the fabulous vendors! You were all wonderful!

We have had a few requests for this apple cake recipe we had in the store a while back, so I thought I would share it with you for the weekend. Make it for your family and eat it for breakfast with your coffee! It's delicious!

preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour a bunt pan.

ingredients:

- 1 3/4 cups sugar

- 1 cup vegetable oil

- 3 eggs

- 1 tblsp. vanilla

blend in bowl of electric mixer.

- 2 cups flour

- 2 tsp. cinnamon

- 1 tsp. baking soda

- 1 tsp. salt

mix dry ingredients in separate bowl and then slowly blend into electric mixer.

remove from mixer and fold in:

- 3-4 apples, peeled and chopped

- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) (i have even made it with those praline pecans from trader joe's which is delicious and extra decadent...)

bake 60 minutes (i feel like mine is usually done closer to 45 or 50, so keep an eye on it the first time you make it). let cool. remove from bundt pan and (1) sprinkle with powdered sugar, (2) sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, (3) drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze OR (4) simply eat as is.
